I went through this with my son when he was just a toddler 3yrs old . He was put on meds for chronic ear aches. He then became more sick and I had discovered a rash appearing all over this rash quickly turned into painful huge splotches covering his arms ,blisters. Took him to the doctor they diogenesed him with the same thing and it cause him 2/3 degree burns . This was absolutely horrible to go through. My littlest one just broke out in a rash from amoxicillin and they took him off it right away cause they said it could cause the same thing very scary. Both times this happened they took the same meds more then once or even twice before they had a reaction.

I just recently was diagnosed and treated for SJS. I had never heard of it. I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with Hand Foot and Mouth disease. I waited two more days and went back in because the pain in my feet was so bad that I couldn’t walk. I honestly feel that if I hadn’t pushed to go back my outcome could have and would face been much different.

I’m so sorry to hear that this woman had to go through this. Thoughts and prayers to the families involved.

My daughter has had several bouts of SJS. First three times it was antibiotics , next time it was generic sinus meds. And the last time (just recently) they are not sure. We thank God that everytime she’s had it that she now knows to get to E.R. quickly to start steroids. Im afraid it’s not going to slow down if it happens again. SJS is very furstrating because most doctors dont recognize thats what it is until its to late. It does cause burns on the body it is terrible. She is now in process of finally being seen by doctors to hopefully help her. God bless this family that lost this lovely lady to such a terrible thing.
